The doctor orders 1000 ml d-5-w iv to infuse 400 ml in 60 mins and to infuse the remainder of the solution at a flow rate of 100 ml/hoyr. The drop factor is 15gtt/ml. How many hours will it take to infuse the remainder of the solution

Order: 600 mL IV at 70 mL/h Drop Factor: 15 gtt/mL NOTE: Must type up all math work and answer to each part. Please label each part correctly. After three hours, there are 375 mL remaining. What is the remaining time? Round answer to the nearest tenths, if possible. Example: 17.9 h = 17 h 54 min Recalculate the flow rate in milliliters per hour: Hint: If the remaining time is in decimal then you will need to leave in decimal form for this problem. Must round the final answer to the nearest whole.

Order: D5W 1,000 mL IV at 50 mL/h for 20 hours. After 5 hours, 700 mL remain to be infused. The infusion is ahead of schedule. Compute the new flow rate in mL/h so that the infusion will finish on time. Note that flow rates may not be adjusted by more than 25% of the original rate. To what rate would you reset the flow rate, or would you contact the prescriber?
